I was 2 weeks early and had only moved house a week before E was born so I didn't set it up til 2 weeks after she was home.
In saying that however, E sleeps in a bassinette in our room and probably will continue to do so til she starts rolling over. I had already washed all the sheets etc, and they are on her cot looking gorgeous, but I will rewash them before she starts sleeping in it.
I use Amolin baby wash, and find it makes all her clothes smell fresh and lovely, and gets them nice and soft. I washed all her clothes up at about 35 weeks.
